Has anyone realized that there is a "Teddy" in the leader board who died of water/oxygen problems?

Reminds me a bit of the Teddy Hansen who was at the drilling station before the first movie.

New FAPT post

I CAN SEE YOU'RE STILL USING THE SIM, MEGAN, AND I KNOW YOU CAN DO BETTER. I'VE GONE THROUGH AND MADE SOME CHANGES BASED ON MY LATEST FINDINGS. FOR INSTANCE, BEING ON YOUR OWN DOWN THERE WON'T BE SO EASY IN REALITY. SO NOW IT'S NOT SO EASY IN THE SIM EITHER. IT'S NOW A BETTER TEST OF YOUR PREPARATION APPROACH, AND SHOULD MAKE YOU THINK TWICE ABOUT TRYING TO GO IT ALONE. WE'RE LOOKING AT 2 YEARS AT MINIMUM. AND IT'LL PROBABLY EVEN LONGER.

ALONG THOSE LINES, A TIP – MORALE MAY SEEM TO BE LESS IMPORTANT THAN HARD SUPPLIES. BUT IT'S NOT. TRUST ME, I KNOW.

KEEP TRYING AND DON'T LET ME DOWN.

LOVE,

DAD

Seems like a pretty clear goal is being set for us, now. Didn't someone say that they have a chart with the optimum supplies figured out somewhere?

- 1 person
- 2 years
- play lots of games

Am I understanding it right?

I think that they're looking for two years with two people. People have already made it over one year with one person.

Basically, I think that he's looking for you to have two people-- Howard and Megan-- and make them survive at least two years and watch the morale. Smile I assume that some kind of hint or information will appear after that.

I posted supply cost/duration & strategy in the SIM thread, but purposely left out the list of fully optimized numbers because I didn't want to spoil anyone. http://forums.unfiction.com/forums/viewtopic.php?p=1062333#1062333

I forgot to add that the SIM had spotted you 1000 gal fuel & 20 boxes of fish, so that can be subtracted from calculations.

I'll take a look at what's changed with this update & if people really want, I can post some actual supply numbers.

Seems like the SIM is going to make it harder to play just 1 person after this update. I read the update as:
    • Encouraging us to play 2 people (at least to start with).
    • Aim for 2 years
    • Play, play and play again!


EDIT: I just checked - if you start with only 1 person, you'll only have 50% Morale, and playing games barely keeps you even, doesn't seem to increase morale at all. With 2 people, you start with 100% Morale. If you kill the 2nd on off, you don't lose moral points for it, but your morale starts dropping more quickly.

This is going to slow down all the people who've been playing with just 1 person.

Yes please! I want! It's one less thing to think about, and I hate rationing. What's the optimal for two people to survive two years, with any cushioning if possible?

I had the same thought.

That makes more sense, Thank you Smile So with the right parameters, a special event might trigger as many have speculated... Hrmmmm just thinking out loud trying to guess the next step, if Meg proves herself with the desired score then father of the year Howard acknowledges her achievement byyyyyy granting her greater access to his computer? Providing the location of a second drop? If it is to be one of those scenarios, I would lean towards the first as I feel there wont be any more drops, and with greater access to Howards computer we might be able to use some of the info off the WAV files (I am determined that those play a role) .........

Crazy thought..

What if our "tampering" with Howard's weird attempts to communicate with his estranged daughter ends up being partially responsible for triggering the disastrous events that play put in the film Shocked

Edit - There is no spoon

is anyone wondering if a second, more Megan-directed, drop is somewhere near Chicago based on the earlier site message?

No, because he stated a few times that he couldn't be there to watch the construction of the bunker up there, so I doubt he buried anything up there either.

Isn't it update day? Shouldn't PaFT have a new letter to Megan?

The new message showed up last nigh (Wednesday) so...
It seems we have a short amount of time to progress so updates may come more often... maybe.
